Golden Autumn Day Lyrics

Artist: Van Morrison
Album: Back On Top

Well I heard the bells ringing, I was thinking about winningIn this God forsaken placeWhen my confidence was well, then I tripped and I feltRight flat on my faceNow I'm standing erect, and I feel like coming backAnd the sun is shining goldPut a smile on my face, get back in the human raceAnd get on with the show

And I'm taking in the Indian SummerAnd I'm soaking it up in my mindAnd I'm pretending that it's paradiseOn a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn dayOn a golden autumn day, an a golden autumn day

In the wee midnight hour I was parking my carIn this dimly lit town,I was attacked by two thugs, who took me for a mugAnd shoved me down on the groundAnd they pulled out a knife, and I fought my way upAs they scarpered from the sceneWell this is no New York street, and there's no Bobby on the beatAnd things ain't just what they seem

And I'm taking in the Indian SummerAnd I'm soaking it up in my mindAnd I'm pretending that it's paradiseOn a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn dayOn a golden autumn day, an a golden autumn day

Who would think this could happen in a city like thisAmong Blake's green and pleasant hills,And we must remember as we go through SeptemberAmong these dark satanic millsIf there's such a thing as justice I could take them out and flog themIn the nearest green fieldAnd it might be a lesson to the bleeders of the systemIn this whole society

And I'm taking in the Indian SummerAnd I'm soaking it up in my mindAnd I'm pretending like it's paradiseOn a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn dayOn a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day, golden autumn day ...
